Perfect. I paid 120 too. Was worried if should have added more for the urgent processing.

I’ve submitted my application today and I’ve paid $120 plus a prepaid envelope return from Canada post. I’ve attached a letter from a hospital shows that I need a travel document ASAP.

A doctor note shows that someone in your family’s health condition is not good and you are going to visit somewhere not your back home.

I hope your application get approved as soon as possible.

Just keep in mind, it may take more then month to complete even urgent travel document application. I have been accepted for urgent travel document application for a month ago and sent the application 3 weeks ago. They have not entered the application to their system yet. According to the call center agent, it may take another couple of weeks.

So expect at least 4-6 weeks of processing time.

Did you receive any email from them that your application has been approved? Or you called them and ask and update of your status? Hopefully you will get your travel document soon.

After submission of webform for urgent RTD, someone from identity department contacts you. I have been getting update from that person.

You can also call IRCC and ask about your RTD application. They will ask you your UCI and tell you the department has not entered the application to system.

I was wondering if I can keep my RTD after it is expired and after I become a citizen. Or do I have to return it when I get a new RTD/Canadian passport?

There is section in RTD application form that you can select to return your old RTD.

No there wasn’t any option for an additional fee. Did you submit the medical note too

Hello,
yes, I submitted the copy of medical note too.The papers were sent through email so i printed them out and attached it to the applcation. Do you think copies are fine or should have been original?

Yup, i provided them with my credit card details. However, I don't see it mentioning sending a 'prepaid envelope'.
